Squadron Energy has started the commercial operation of the 244 MW Bongo wind farm project located in New South Wales, Australia.
Through its 46 turbines, the wind farm will generate enough electricity to power 144,000 homes and prevent up to 543,000 tonnes of carbon emissions from being released into the atmosphere annually. The project is constructed about 30 kilometers north of Yass in the South Western Slopes.
Snowy Hydro and Transurban have also signed power purchase agreements to buy electricity from Bango Wind Farm. Along with the operating Sapphire Wind Farm, the opening of Bango Wind Farm means Squadron Energy is now supplying 80% of the combined electricity needs of Sydney’s Eastern Distributor, Cross City Tunnel, Hills M2, Lane Cove Tunnel, and WestConnex toll roads.
